Tropical Traditions’ bison products come from northern Wisconsin, where the animals are grazed on prairie grass without chemicals, hormones, or grains. The animals are 100% grass-fed and are also finished on grass. Extra measures are taken to keep the animals in a very low stress, natural environment, which ensures a more tender and sweeter tasting meat.

Grass-fed animals have been shown to be higher in Omega 3 fatty acids than grain-fed and finished livestock. CLA is also an essential fatty acid found primarily in grass-fed animals. Some studies have also shown that grass-fed bison contain up to 4 times more selenium than grain-fed bison.

Bison contains more protein in relation to calories than beef. Bison are very hearty animals and are genetically a purer strain of red meat than most other meats. Bison do not have to be kept in barns, and can survive very harsh winters, finding grass to eat even when buried by a couple feet of snow! Bison is a very healthy, traditional source of meat in North America.

Most other sources of bison are not 100% grass-fed, but include grains in the feed as well. These bison are not treated with hormones or antibiotics. They are naturally healthy and hearty animals.
